Both the Willamette River in Portland and the Columbia River, from Astoria to Bonneville Dam, provide excellent fishing for white sturgeon. |
These fish are very strong and provide plenty of exciting pole bending action when hooked, many times leaping completely out of the water. It's always a thrill, even for the more seasoned anglers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
